Why Linux?

We are often asked why we only use Linux for hosting websites and web 2.0 applications. The April 2010 Server Survey shows 54% of servers are Linux based compared to only 25% MS (19% other). There is a good reason for that. Most servers are run by professionals whose livelyhood depends on doing it the most reliable and cost-effective way. The world's top 10 most reliable hosting companies were ALL Linux based.
eCommerce

 

eCommerce is a perfect example of Web 2.0, being an 'application' (or computer program) running on a server to facilitate the purchase and payment of goods or services.

eCommerce (probably due to the fiscal imperative) is one of the longest living Web 2.0 type of application. There are thousands of systems available - most of them pretty superficial and limited in scope. As a result of great effort and prodigious research to find the very best applications which are:

  • open source - to protect your investment
  • easy to install and maintain
  • easy to customise
  • well documented
  • supported by many thousands of developers
  • readily embedded into a top-end CMS and
  • low to modest cost

we have opted to support VirtueMart. This full-featured, highly scaleable commerce engine ticks all the boxes.

 

Consequently, we have made a significant investment in understanding the inner workings of VirtueMart, customising it for specific client needs and creating several add-ons to enhance the user experience.

 

We charge £600 to install VirtueMart within a Joomla! site on our Cloud Servers and £100 per year (fromt year 2 onwards) to host this eCommerce facility. At the minimal extra cost of £50 per year we can interface with the payment gateway of your choice (no extra charge if you want PayPal as well).
